Just got PAID in BITCOINS..Now what?

[GeObsCrypt]

https://btc-e.com/ is what most people use

The above statement is not supported by volume of trades, so I wouldn't use btc-e.com based on this advice. Btc-e is a decent exchange, and one of the few that support other virtual currencies. NOTE: For goodness sake, do not click on any links in the chatbox on btc-e.com, or your computer will be pwn'd and your balance will be emptied. There are many scammers lurking in the chatbox's of exchanges. Best setup two-factor authentication no matter what exchange you use.

best of luck...

Are you asking what to do with money? Do whatever you want to do with money. Save it, spend it,...Whatever. If you want to convert it back to a fiat currency then you have a lot to think about. It will cost you money to that.

Anytime you stick with bitcoin things are cheap, easy, and private. Anytime you mix bitcoins with fiat money things are expensive, difficult and require handing your identity to the government, payment processors, exchanges, etc.

You could Download the Gyft app and convert the coins to usable gift cards at retailers. Also, lots of VPN & VPS providers take BTC for payments. VPN is critical with NSA always snooping...

Well the title says it all.. I got paid in bitcoins knowing that somehow some way I would be able to convert it to cash, but how exactly is this done?
Is there a detailed instruction on how this is done?
And also are then any specific actions or sites that I should use that are recommended ?

Any assistance is highly appreciated thank you and have an awesome night.

How you go about this depends largely on you. What sort of cash are you trying to get (USD, EUR, etc.)? What country are you located in? Do you have an account at a place like Dwolla or Paypal already setup?
